The flying locust is a zerg variant strain of the locust that appears in Heart of the Swarm. It is spawned by the carrionswarm host strain. The flying locusts are faster and deal 50% more damage than regular locusts, but have 25% less life.[1]

In Legacy of the Void, locusts in multiplayer default as flying locusts. They have the swoop ability, where they home in on a ground unit and become ground units.
